Okay, I'm fucking obsessed with this. It's just so...euphoric. I really hope they treat it like an actual single in the U.S. and don't just toss it on iTunes without any fanfare; I think it could be fairly big for her.

She deleted the tweet and changed it back to the first one.

Good. The first one is much better.

I still think the production is really generic, but the song itself is so damn catchy. The generic factor might work in her favor stateside.

I do not like that album cover. I hope it looks better in person...

I don't love it, either. The single cover is much better.

I like the throwback look of the single cover a little more-- it looks nautical, almost like she's a mermaid? IDK, that's what I got. Glad they stuck with the sea-green font too. The other pops a bit more, but it's tacky. Album cover isn't bad either, just inconsistent with the superior single cover. The droplets look kind of cheap too, but w/e.
I don't give a damn that 'Into the Blue' is "generic", though. It's an amazingly good pop song. If she's gunning for stateside success, this was a pretty good choice.

The single art is great.
Not really feeling the peeing in the shower with my lipstick on look for the album cover, tbh.

She's losing me with this era so far... the song is nice enough, but are we really going to act like it didn't leak at all? I know relatively nobody's checking for it anyway, but still. Where's the press release? Radio premiere? iTunes preorder? What exactly is Roc Nation doing?
The album cover is serving me the following teas: open casket, "Call On Me" video, Loud ripoff, Le Chateau mannequin, Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
The more I look at it, the more it frustrates me. Time to log off!

I really liked the single cover. Regarding the album cover..... after thinking it and looking at it several times during the day, I really don't like it. As Janhova's Witness said, I also got the feeling of looking at an open casket as creepy as that sounds. Her face in the picture is so airbrushed and with the eyes closed that it almost looks fake. Actually it reminds me of how they prepare dead people for viewing in the casket and sometimes they end up with excessive makeup or base. And then on top something like a sweaty glass. That also made me think of the viewing her through the glass of a casket only that a sweaty or wet one from the inside. Yep. That creepy was my first impression...

Think of it as a "snow white" shoot laying in a glass coffin ready to be "kissed once" by the prince and maybe it´s less creepy ;)

I wish her front teeth weren't so visible, lmao. What an awkward shot.
I have to say, I'm really disappointed with everything about this era so far. "Skirt" was nice to pass the time but "Into the Blue" is easily my least favorite lead single of hers.

Where's the press release? Radio premiere? iTunes preorder? What exactly is Roc Nation doing? My guess is this isn't going to be the lead single all said and done. If it is, then they're probably counting on your first point: nobody's checking for it. Which pretty much means everything else isn't really necessary yet. I feel like the early leak was to generate buzz for the blogs stateside, which I mean, she's going to need since 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' is damn near fossilized. Like, does something leaking like this seem off to anyone else? EDIT: got the UK release and the US release dates confused.

Kylie's shit always leaks, which is partly what made the "All The Lovers" premiere so amazing: nothing had leaked beforehand. "In My Arms" was supposed to be the lead single from X and it leaked six months before the album. I just thought they'd have their shit together by now and come out with a plan. I guess not? I'm still excited for the album. I honestly don't expect any kind of major hits, much less success in the States.

There isn't any chance it's fake, is there? That tracklist screams desperation.

'I Was Gonna Cancel'? 'Sexercise'? 'Les Sex'? This album is probably going to be a total campfest, and I couldn't be more excited.

That tracklist screams desperation. It does, but in the best way possible. Like, instead of rolling my eyes and immediately writing off the album, I'm actually even more excited. I'm surprised they aren't including 'Skirt', at least as a bonus track.

M N E K @mnek 26m We have a cut on the @kylieminogue album coming out soon! It's called "Feels So Good" (written by Tom_aspaul). It might be familiar. Apparently it's this song:

There's a b-side called Sparks. Won't let me order the vinyl though... kylie.zoopcommerce.com/products/into-the-blue-7-vinyl-single.htmlFrom the press release. The album, a definite return to the dance floor after 2012’s ‘Abbey Road Sessions’, was executive produced by Kylie and Sia, who co-wrote the title track. Kylie also teams up with Pharrell Williams (who wrote and produced ‘I Was Gonna Cancel’). Other producers include Ariel Rechtshaid (HAIM) on ‘If Only’, MNEK on ‘Feels So Good’, and Greg Kurstin on bonus track ‘Sleeping With The Enemy’.

I'm looking forward to the Pharrell track because minimalist production best suits her vocals. According to someone on PJ, the Enrique song is slated to be the next single. I hope that's just a rumor.
